Open up and break into another world

Five days later.

Using his face, Quasi-Saint Bei Han managed to gather treasures worth thirty drops of Chaos Origin Liquid.

Of course, the reason Quasi-Saint Bei Han was able to borrow the treasures so smoothly was twofold: first, he promised never to leave the Ancient Cultivation Holy City with the treasures; and second, those powerful figures who lent him the treasures all believed that Moujian would definitely defeat Xu Ming!

Because it was a sure thing, those powerful figures were willing to do a favor and give Quasi-Saint Bei Han some face.

“Quasi-Saint Bei Han, impressive!” Master Moujian said with admiration, “You actually managed to gather a Chaos Divine Weapon in such a short time!”

“I told you, I still have some face in the Holy Land!” Quasi-Saint Bei Han smiled proudly and said, “Let’s go! Let’s challenge Xu Ming again! Now, we have enough treasures; I want to see if Xu Ming dares to accept the challenge!”

“By the way!” Quasi-Saint Bei Han suddenly added, “If Xu Ming accepts the challenge, then you must…”

“I understand!” Master Moujian grinned hideously.

He knew what Quasi-Saint Bei Han meant—show no mercy!

“Hmph! This Xu Ming actually dared to humiliate me in public… I will definitely make him pay the price!” The sword shadows in Master Moujian’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

“Let’s go!” Quasi-Saint Bei Han said.

“Wait a moment!” Master Moujian suddenly said.

“What’s wrong?” Quasi-Saint Bei Han was a little puzzled.

“No!” Master Moujian frowned and said, “The value of the Heart-Piercing Arrow is probably around fifty drops of Chaos Origin Liquid; but the treasures we’ve gathered are only worth thirty drops of Chaos Origin Liquid! If we go to Xu Ming like this, Xu Ming will still have an excuse to avoid the battle; he might even humiliate us again and call us poor ghosts! We must make sure that Xu Ming has no excuse to avoid the battle before we challenge him again! Moreover, we have to find a way to set up a trap to put Xu Ming in a difficult position before launching the challenge!”

Quasi-Saint Bei Han thought for a moment: “That’s true! Alright then! I’ll go gather some more!”

…

Quasi-Saint Bei Han embarked on the “treasure-borrowing road” again!

However, this time, Quasi-Saint Bei Han’s treasure-borrowing road undoubtedly became much more difficult!

Because the ones who were easy to borrow from had already been borrowed from by Quasi-Saint Bei Han, and he had borrowed them “dry”! For example, Quasi-Saint Yi Mu had even stripped his clothes for Master Bei Han!

Therefore, next, Quasi-Saint Bei Han could only borrow from those with whom he had relatively ordinary relationships. Since the relationships were relatively ordinary, borrowing would definitely be much more difficult!

…

“Borrow treasures?” At the gathering place of the Fire Element Dao, Quasi-Saint Duan Yu pondered and said, “Bei Han, I really don’t find it convenient to agree to your request! After all, I can’t feel at ease handing over so many treasures to you, can I?”

“Duan Yu!” Quasi-Saint Bei Han said, “I’ve already said that I will never leave the Ancient Cultivation Holy City; these treasures of yours are only temporarily lent to me for a few days, they won’t be missing, why are you being so stingy?”

Quasi-Saint Duan Yu smiled and said, “What if you leave the Holy City?”

Quasi-Saint Bei Han said, “With your strength, once I leave the Ancient Cultivation Holy City, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to stop me, right? Moreover, I’ve borrowed treasures from so many powerful figures, if I really break my promise and leave the Ancient Cultivation Holy City, I’m afraid you will immediately surround me and tear me apart, right?”

“That sounds like the way things are!” Quasi-Saint Duan Yu actually knew that Bei Han wouldn’t dare to “run away with the money”, “But… I’m taking such a big risk lending you the treasures; what’s the benefit for me?”

“What benefit do you want?” Quasi-Saint Bei Han understood why the other party was being so long-winded—it turned out he wanted to take the opportunity to make a profit!

“Haha…” Quasi-Saint Duan Yu laughed “heartily”, “You and I are brothers, talking about treasures will hurt our feelings! I heard… your 《Bei Han Mystic Records》 seems to have some deep insights…”

Quasi-Saint Duan Yu didn’t want treasures, but he wanted Quasi-Saint Bei Han’s secret techniques.

Quasi-Saint Bei Han gritted his teeth: “Okay! Deal!”

…

While Quasi-Saint Bei Han was borrowing treasures everywhere, Master Moujian was not idle either.

Under Master Moujian’s arrangement, hundreds of Divine Emperors and Title Kings were frantically spreading rumors and slandering Xu Ming in the Ancient Cultivation Holy City.

“Have you heard? A heaven-defying genius has appeared in the Lightning Element Dao—Xu Ming!”

“When did that happen? I heard about it a long time ago!”

These Ancient Cultivators who spread rumors deliberately ran to crowded places and first started the topic of Xu Ming in a casual chat. Then, they immediately changed the subject:

“Xu Ming? What kind of genius is he? Just a cowardly rat!”

“That’s right! I heard that Master Moujian wanted to spar with Xu Ming, but Xu Ming didn’t dare to accept the challenge at all!”

“That’s right! I also heard that! Master Moujian is a cultivator who resides in our Holy Emperor’s heart; Xu Ming doesn’t even dare to accept his challenge, isn’t that a disgrace to our Ancient Cultivator faction? Super genius? I spit on that!”

On Xu Ming’s Divine Body, there were “Perception Inscriptions” engraved by the “Supreme Dao Inscriptions”.

Perception Inscriptions, to a certain extent, achieved the effect of a “detection” cheat.

Therefore, as soon as Xu Ming heard this news, he immediately knew that Master Moujian was secretly playing tricks.

“What is Master Moujian doing this for? Does he think that he can force me to fight him with such low-level means?” Xu Ming couldn’t help but think.

For Xu Ming, defeating Master Moujian was very easy.

But the problem was… what kind of thing was Master Moujian? Was he worthy of Brother Ming taking action?

Want to be slapped in the face by Brother Ming? Sure! First, prepare the stakes! For the sake of the stakes, Brother Ming can still consider going on stage to slap his face!

If you can’t even afford the stakes… then sorry! Brother Ming is very busy, he doesn’t have time to slap your face!

“Never mind him!” Xu Ming directly chose to ignore this low-level slander, “However… I’ve gained a lot of insights from comprehending secret techniques these past few days, I should be able to upgrade 《Five Cycles of Reincarnation》 to ‘Master-Level Secret Technique’!”
